World leaders discussed the future of the internet in Davos this week, including Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri, who wrote of the advances in cloud computing and data analysis that will be enabled by 5G.

The FCC closed the 28 GHz auction—the first for high-band in the U.S.—with over $702 million in bids. Nearly 3,000 licenses were won for spectrum that will help enable 5G development. See CTIA’s statement on the conclusion of the auction.
